DAQ

Last week we learned how to use the MCC DAQ
cards

Three weeks ago, we learned how to save data to
a file

You must frequently save data sets WITHOUT
overwriting them. Some will be mistakes, etc.,
but just save them all. The secret to this is to
have automatic filename generating code and to
take good notes in your notebook. In today's
world of lots of disc space (and tomorrow's
world of even more), this is a good strategy

Keep in mind the maximum sampling frequency
that you learned last wek

RC Circuit, High-Pass filter

Using protoboard

MCC DAQ card

Oscilloscope for debugging

Modify your buffered data acquisition VI from
last week

Take data sets AND save them automatically
with automatic filename generation (so files are
saved, not overwritten, Good practices, Use the time and date string to create filename, Save a corresponding screenshot of front panel, Take a photo of your circuit and put in your
notebook for reference, When you have a meaningful dataset,
specifically link to it in your notebook
(keep all of the datasets, just ignore
the ones you think are garbage and /
or make note that they are garbage in
your notebook)

Make a plot of peak-peak voltage versus
frequency

Is the cutoff frequency what you expect from RC
value? (f = 1/ (2 pi RC)
